arise between two or more Bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be 
immediately put up again and re-sold. 


2. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which 
is merely a nominal or fractional advance, and therefore, in his 
judgment, likely to affect the Sale injuriously.

reguired, in default of which the Lot or Lots so purchased to be 

immediately put up again and re-sold.

at the time of Sale, and the remainder of the Purchase-money 
to be absolutely paid, or otherwise settled for to the satisfaction 
of the Auctioneer, on or before delivery; in default of which the 
undersigned will not hold themselves responsible if the Lots be 
lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, but they will be left at the 
sole risk of the purchaser. 


5. While the undersigned will not hold themselves responsible 
for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or authen- 
ticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, and make no War- 
ranty whatever, they will, upon receiving previous to date of 
Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
or other Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use 
every effort on their part to furnish proof to the contrary; fail- 
ing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold sub- 
ject to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being liable 
to the Owner or Owners thereof for damage or injury occasioned 
thereby. 


6. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the 
settlement of the Purchases, no Lot can, on any account, be re- 
moved during the Sale. 


7. Upon failure to comply with the above conditions, the money 
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited; all Lots uncleared 
within one day from conclusion of Sale (unless otherwise specified 
as above) shall be re-sold by public or private sale, without further 
notice, and the deficiency (if any) attending such re-sale shall be

attending the same. This Condition is without prejudice to the 
right of the Auctioneer to enforce the contract made at this Sale, 
without such re-sale, if he thinks fit. 


8. The Undersigned are in no manner connected with the 
business of the cartage or packing and shipping of purchases, 
and although they will afford to purchasers every facility for em- 
ploying careful carriers and packers, they will not hold themselves 
responsible for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for 
such services.

By the edge of a green wood a girl has set up 
a limb of a tree on forked sticks and suspended 
her great copper kettle from it over a fire she has 
built of fagots on a bank of stones. Her black 
tresses hang down her back, her sleeves are rolled 
up, and her feet are bare. With a long stick she 
is stirring her clothes in the boiler, while a tin 


pail with more linen stands beside her.

Along the edge of some woodland, thickly 
grown with light underbrush, a serious young 
lady is passing, stopping now and again to gather 
wild flowers, as the bunch she holds in her turned- 


up overskirt tells. Her white bonnet and white 
dress are adorned with pink, and her brown hair 


is hanging in long curls down her back.

It is the tea hour and a young woman of blond

full, pink lips, is preparing a cup of tea on a bam- 
boo table. She wears a semi-transparent gown 
of white, with delicate lavender suggestions, and

Up a road which rises steeply at the left a soli-

away from the spectator toward a pedestrian 
figure in red, who appears in the sunshine at the 
top of the slope. The heights there, save where 
the sunshine breaks in, are tree clad. The high 
land ends abruptly at the top, and to the right 
there is spread out below the bluff a broad and. 
level valley under a sky full of dark clouds.

Some Spanish cavalry of an earlier day are

with suggested buildings in the distance to the 
right, under a sky that threatens rain. Their

which are lingering above the horizon. Some of 
the men have dismounted and are resting along 
the roadside, and an officer and a soldier are con- 
versing nearer at hand.

Trees, a river and a hillside appear here in a

a suggestion of blue in the far hills. A tree-grown 
mound at the left foreground slopes down to a 
river at the right, across which are seen, on the 
farther wooded shore, beyond more trees, the

Bewigged, and in scarlet coat and lace cuffs

an attitude of proud assurance, turning the leaves 


of a book in search of a reference. He faces to 


the right, three-quarters front. ‘The wall is lined 
with bookcases and books. An olive table cov- 
ering corresponds in tone to the upholstery of 
an arm chair from which the student has just 
arisen. 

Grace of attitude and the fineness of the

worthy of study.

An amusing composition of attractive color— 
something of a chromatically humorous melody in 
paint. <A slant of sunshine falls upon a court or 
impasse, of stuccoed walls, where a Moor in a 
richly colored robe has fallen asleep sitting down; 
a bare-legged serving man is stretched out asleep 
beside him, and a disconsolate donkey is standing 
patiently waiting before them under the open win- 
dow of a fruit stall. In front of the donkey a 
basket of oranges has been overturned, and a 
ragged man seems to be dickering for them with 
the two muffled and amused Moorish merchants, 
who are lying down comfortably within the stall 


or store.

Typical scenes of the Paris boulevards are here 
portrayed. A gay young man, hatless and with 
his fine looking clothes disordered, has got into 
some trouble which looks as though it had come 
from spirituous exaltation, and he is in the grip 
of a policeman. ‘They are out in the roadway, 
while a crowd follows, and passersby come from 
both sides of the street to see what is going on. 
A workman in a blue blouse is explaining the 
matter to an inquisitive bourgeois, and fiacres and - 
omnibuses are passing between the vari-colored 


advertisements of the kiosques.

A big red rooster, with gracefully arched plumes,

and landscape appeared to him in the mass, rather 
than in the detail so often dwelt upon by the land- 
scape men. Here it is mass, solidity and color in

made a picture, under a rare blue sky, which

pearly-gray cloud masses, intermingled as one 
vaporous whole, and square-rigged ships lying 
alongside quays in water whose shimmering sur-

Leaning against the trunk of a tree in the

matches the warmer tones amongst the foliage 
above her head, her head being seen against lower 
distant greens of the woods. From the left a 
Cupid comes springing toward her, arm upraised. 

_ The figure of the nymph is carefully studied and 
firmly modeled, the flesh tones are soft and warm; 
the whole is colorful and reposeful. It is grace 
and beauty, not toil and drudgery, that Millet

A charming sketch for a larger picture, with 
all the freshness and go, the feeling and sponta- 
neity, that a sketch makes possible, and so much 
of which is often lost before getting to the com- 
pleted, more ambitious canvas. What more could 
Rousseau have done to this, sketch though it be? 
For everything is here of feeling and painter-like 
quality—save only in the merely crudely sug- 
gested figures of the three cows drinking, and the 
figure of the little cowherd as she lies resting 
under a tree. But the color and the air and the 


feeling of a gorgeous, resplendent sunset, screened 
by trees and mirrored in a lake, was what Rous- 
seau saw and was after and experienced, and what 
he has given here to all with eyes to see.

Height, 1334 inches; width, 91% inches. 


In a retreat amid trees and rocks, with a classic

Venus reclines on a rock, facing the spectator. 
She has allowed her blue mantle to fall away until 
it conceals only one of her limbs, at the approach 
of Cupid who comes in the company of her rival 
of darker beauty, and not less abundant figure, 
dark-eyed Juno. The wife of Jupiter, and jealous 
loser to Venus in the amorous eyes of Paris, has 
come, wearing a diadem and a purple mantle, 
which, dropping low, leaves her torso nude. She 
draws back in some surprise and resentment, at 
the sight of the blond revelation of her rival, while 
Cupid, master of the hour, leans on his bow with 
a placid, contented smile, looking at neither, but 
serenely optimistic in the thoughts reflected in his 


complacent features.

Here is the freshness of a late Spring morning, 
when Nature has clothed the trees in their full 
wealth of green, and scattered flowers among the 
grasses. The scene is at a bend in a river’s course; 
‘a place of seclusion, screened from the world of 
turmoil by the thick encircling trees. Between 
the trees and the water the broad grassy bank of 
the stream is moist and luscious in its luxuriant 
verdure. A cow or two comes down to drink. 
Two figures sit on a low knoll and enjoy the quiet,

‘cial A sterling painting of action in a seaway, 
where small fishing boats toss among the cresting 
waves—one of Dupré’s vigorous marines. ‘There 

is plenty of wind, as the swirling sky shows, and 

the small, yawl-rigged fishers—there are two of 

them in the near foreground—are pitching in the 

petty commotion of the waters. <A larger vessel is 
indicated in the distance, also leaning some. ‘The 

artist has been interested in the study of light and 
shadow among the sails, and in the nearer boat he 


has shown the figures of its easy-going occupants.

Cae ducks are swimming near the shore just outside 
the weeds. The water reflects the green of the 
hillside, and the reddish notes of clouds of a rosy

Before a fireplace in a paneled and tapestried 
room, with polished floor, three men sit at a table, 
two of them at chess, the third looking intently 
on. One of the players, of middle age, is in an 
elaborate maroon costume, with gray stockings, 
and pink bows over black shoes. At his elbow are 
his wine jar and handy glass. The other player 
is in a negligée blue jacket and chestnut breeches, 
with red bows on his white shoes. He smokes a 
long-stemmed clay pipe. The older onlooker 
wears a long red wig, and a broad white collar 
tied in front. The carved chairs are richly up- 
holstered.

brick foundation, might be a workman’s cottage, 
and to its right is the thatched-roof barn, through 
whose open door cronies may be seen gossiping

stable-yard straw into a two-wheeled cart, whose 
black wheel-horse feeds from a basket, the white 
leader having turned about and standing along-

A painting with some suggestions of Alfred 
Stevens’s figure canvases. A tall young woman 
in a white, flowing skirt, stands on a terrace above 
the sea, leaning against a parapet. She faces the 
left, but has turned her head about until her 
pleasant face is seen three-quarters front. She 
has interesting features of rather pensive but 
slightly quizzical expression, and seems to be 
musing, or partly dreaming, as she holds in her 
hand an opera glass, which she has just been 
using. In her upper costume is abundance of 
color—a pink sash embroidered with green and 
red floral sprays, a filmy shawl adorned in red, 
green, yellow and black, and a hat of black, white 
and green. In the gray parapet, with a blue and 
white jar upon it, a good deal of quality has been 
attained, from which all the variety of color does 


not detract.

grown rocks, which rise to a considerable height— 
the foliage on the right bank of a wondrously 
rich emerald hue, where it is in partial shadow. 
Where the brook makes its entrance the sunlight 
falls to the glen, turning the trees there to a 
lighter and yellowish green; and there a buck and

THE WHITE COW 


Admired as Van Marcke isn his specialty by, 
large numbers of people, there is in this canvas, 
which has reposed for a score or more of years in 
a quiet residence off Fifth Avenue, a quality to 
open new hearts to him among lovers of painting. 
Here is a sterling study of his favorite animal 
by the great cattle painter, and the only picture 
which Van Marcke ever painted out of doors. 
The white cow stands almost athwart the canvas. 
She had been going away toward the left, but has 
turned to look back. The sun, at the left, and 
out of the picture, was high overhead, and cast 
the shadow of the bovine’s head and horns upon 
her foreshoulder. The expression, the drawing, 
and the quality of the painting in the animal’s 
coat, are all remarkably vital. So, too, is the 
grass, in the quality of its green; the air, and the 
atmosphere of outdoors (all with no “spottiness’’). 
At the left a black cow is lying on the sward, and 
at the right a cow of fulvous coat is standing, 
looking away.

which find a footing in their crevices, and at the 
foot of the left-hand wall runs a brook that 
quickly loses itself in growths of bushes. Beyond 
the tops of distant, abundant trees, one sees a 
bright blue sky, with dull clouds, silver-edged in 
the sunlight.

A sudden black storm has come up on a fair 
day. At the left is blue sky with kindly gray 
clouds over country buildings still in the sun- 
light. To the right the whole heavens are over- 
swept by dense nimbus clouds of ominous inten- 
sity. ‘Two officers have impressed a partly laden 
farm wagon drawn by three horses—a white, a 
dapple gray and a bay—to get them to shelter, 
and the driver is whipping his horses to a run to 
keep ahead of the squall. Two panting dogs 
have paused for a lap of water at a pool beside 
the road, and beyond, a horseman with two horses 
also flees the storm.

Fair and young, with abundant blond tresses 
crowning her head in puffs and floating over her 
nude shoulders, a maiden is seated facing left 
and looking straight at the spectator, her pink 
lips pursed in a sweet and arch smile. She is 
shown at three-quarters length on a deep blue 
coverlet against a dull red background. Her 
inner garment has fallen below her shoulder, the 
lower part of her body is enwrapped in a pink 
robe, and a wispy lace scarf is twined about her 
arms. She has plucked a pink rose from a basket 
of flowers which she has received, and holds it 


coquettishly at her breast.

of his young mother and an older woman who as- 
sists her. ‘The infant, his back to the spectator, 
but his disgruntled face turned toward the right, 
stands on the edge of a heavy wooden tub, sup- 
ported by the elder woman, who wears a blue 
waist, red petticoat, and white apron. The young

The handsome, fair-haired, accomplished young 
French woman is shown at half length, 
facing the left, and looking intently, with 
a sagacious smile, at the spectator from her deep- 
set blue eyes. She wears a waist of olive-green 
and the white lace fichu over her shoulders is 
loosely knotted in front, disclosing a delicately 
modeled throat. The broad and flaring hat is 
poised jauntily. Her cheeks and ears are pink 
and the red of her lips is intensified with rouge.

Some of them were graceful and handsome youths of six

little more than thirty. *~ * * Alas they had but too 
good an opportunity of proving that they did not want 
courage to endure with manly cheerfulness the worst that 
could be inflicted by such tyrants as St. Just and such 
slaves as Barére. 

“They were not the only victims of the noble cause. 
Madame Roland followed them to the scaffold with a 
“spirit as heroic as their own. Her husband was in a safe 
hiding place, but could not bear to survive her. His 
body was found on the high road, near Rouen. He had 
fallen on his sword.”—Macaulay.

with a part of one of the chapels. On the huge 
column in the center of the composition is the 
holy water font, into which a military officer in 
uniform, pious and gallant at the same time, has 
just dipped his ungloved hand, which he now ex- 
tends with a bow and an inquiring glance to a 
lady who has just come from her prayers. ‘The 
tips of their fingers meet, and with her head erect 
she directs her glance downward, her expression 
quizzical but not unkind. In the chapel other 
pious women are praying, and an elaborately uni- 
formed official converses genially with a Church-

strong colors which the people of the sunny land 
affect. Monks, priests, brightly uniformed servi-

cleaned, at the base of the tall gray buildings,

hands are folded on her lap, and she is facing 
the spectator, smiling, as she turns to her left

a white frock, who sits on a stool beside her, 
proudly reading from a book. Aside from its 


family sentiment, the picture is full of colors, in

is a table with a turquoise-blue coverlet, gold em- 
broidered, and other appointments of a luxurious

A corner of the great central market of Paris 
is depicted on a Summer day, when the bounty 
of the earth is bright to look upon as it is brought 
to the city by the thrifty French growers. The 
sidewalk stands just outside the building are piled 
high with vegetables of many colors, and a throng 
of purchasers dicker with the market women in 
their quaint caps. Cabs fill the adjoining street, 
and omnibuses are passing in the rear. Many 
French types figure in the marketing throng. In 
the foreground a lady is followed by her bonne 
carrying a full basket of purchases.

the entrance to a house. ‘The building is vine- 
covered and nestles among trees, and only its door 
is visible. It is-evening. ‘The young woman has 
softly opened the door a little way, from the out- 
side, and the light from within falls upon her face, 
which is seen in profile as she turns her head to 
listen to what is going on inside. Her dog waits 
expectantly at her feet, having come from his 
kennel near by. Above the trees, over a wall, 


there is a glimpse of the moon.

On a level grass range in a valley at the base 
of enormous mountains, a herd of brown and yel- 
low long-horned West Highland cattle are stand- 
ing and lying about, most of them gazing up a 
path that winds into the picture from the fore- 
ground, as though expecting some one to come. 
At the right a group of low buildings nestles 
under the middle distance trees; to the left the 
sun is “drawing water’; the peaks of the moun- 
tains are partly obscured in mists, which settle 
also in the hollows of their sides, and a bit of blue 
sky is seen over them. A landscape of much and 


varied color, and suggestions of great distances.

It is evening, in the sea at the mouth of the 
great river. The full moon coming from among 
dark clouds at the right makes the moving waters 
brilliant in a broad streak, and in its more diffused 
light elsewhere the shipping of commerce is 
plainly seen. At the right is a fisherman’s sailing 
boat. At the left are two brigs under full sail— 
one coming, bow on, across the line of vision, her 
starboard light showing; the other to windward 
of her and astern, coming down on a divergent 
course and showing her port light. Other ships 
are seen afar as misty shadows, and a few stars 


appear in the sky.

type, are pictured, almost life size, dancing on 
the green turf—the background a comprehensive 
landscape with a lake in the distance. The girls 
are bare-footed and the dark one, who faces front, 
is smiling happily. She wears a heavy gold bead 
necklace—the Neapolitan woman’s personal sav- 
ings bank—and loop earrings to match. Her 
companion’s only jewelry is hairpins. ‘Their cos- 


tumes are rich and varied in color and of diverse 


materials.
